Promises for Players. In 47 other states last week autumn vibrated with high school cheers that almost matched the Abilene excitement-but not quite. When fiercely partisan Texans turn out to root for the lads next door, they swell with an extra pride: they know that most of those players will always play for Texas. Tempted though they may be by the green-backed promises of out-of-state scouts, stars from Texas' 900 league-organized high school teams make a habit of playing their college football at home.

Each morning Byrd, now 70, hurried out to the apple orchards around his home at Berryville, supervised the harvest. But each afternoon the Senator settled down at his telephone to pass out political orders that crisscrossed Virginia in anticipation of a different sort of harvest.

He also plumped up the supporting cast with the famous bunny brigade...
...character is that of a meeting place between the alluvial Old South counties of the east and the hilly Old Frontier and Ozark counties of the west. It is a pleasant, leisurely place of well-tended homes and green lawns where violets and jonquils bloom in spring, chrysanthemums in autumn. It is a diversified light-industry city that makes its living above all from nonnative enterprises-the Arkansas state government; the Missouri Pacific Railroad repair yards in North Little Rock; the nearby Little Rock Air Force Base (biggest employer)-and as such, before the crisis, had no one thing...
